 If DIB would like to provide evidence (i.e. links to newspaper articles) about immigration busts at Oreck to back up his claims, I'm ready to listen.  Unsubstantiated accusations of wrong doing by Oreck are unacceptable.  It's sad that Dustmite tries to deflect legitimate criticism of Dyson products by making  random accusations of wrongdoing by competitors.   Oreck picked Cookeville because of it's educated workforce and demographics and most importantly whatever incentives were given it to locate there.  



SEVERUS:

Agree.  These are typically the reasons that localities use to win over employers to locate in their areas.  I'm sure with the economic times like they are, the persons who closed the deal with ORECK are patting themselves on their backs now.  Likewise, employers frequently cite these reasons for their relocations.  Education level is and always was a major selling point for business relocations.  Companies don't want to be labelled as moving to Dunceville USA.

If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

Having a university nearby is almost always a plus.   Based on some googling, I noticed that Tom Oreck has had some involvement with the Tennessee Tech (TTU) MBA program.   I don't know if Oreck has used Industrial engineers from TTU to help optimize the plant set up or to optimize processes.  

Here's a token piece of TTU  trivia.  TTU used to have a mechanical engineering professor with the last name Bagci.   He was apparently an expert in robotics who consulted on the original Star Wars movies.   When C3PO says that he speaks the "Bagci" language, it's in honor of  Dr. Bagci.  

The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable.  The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

Didn't know that, very interesting.  Always enjoy knowing the story within the story.  Thanks.

On the Tom Oreck TTU connection, you raise an interesting point.  Always beneficial for schools and companies to partner with intern programs and community projects.  A huge boost for the area and its people.

The punch line is -- about $700.  This vacuum will prove whether or not the American economy is reviving.

As a three time college grad currently working on a masters I would JUMP on a 14.00/hr job with or without benefits. The economy has recovered a heck of a lot more in Cookeville, TN than it has in Fort Wayne, IN. There are a small and dwindling number of factor jobs that pay even 10.00/hr here.

Here in New York, regardless of wage offered, the problem is the gathered and still growing throng.  Last interview -- one adminidtrative position with 300 applicants vying for it.  Thus, I have to give Dyson a few points for enthusiasm and blind ambition. 

You know what they say, "When the going gets rough the tough go shopping."  Let's see if it's true.

Did someone say R-E-C-O-V-E-R-Y?  Let's recap.  The stock markets in European countries, including the UK FTSE, are down 20-30 percent this year.  Greece is the exception, it's down 45 percent.  But its got the population of Los Angeles and the GDP of Ohio.  Won't bring down the global economy.  May cause the other Euro-countries to bail out of the euro and go back to their own currencies.  Didn't we discuss this back in 2000?  BTW, the US DOW is down 1000 points so far in the month of May and the month is not over yet.

On a good note, the CEO of Quiznos is opening 600 new restaurants and employng 7500 more people.  Already has 4000 restaurants in the US.  But, of course, soup and a sandwich for $5 with kids eating free are economic staples.  $700 vacuums?  Well...suffice to say they are not staples.
